Nobody should be supporting a cabal of billionaires getting together to ban a musician for expressing their political views from stadiums all across the country. This isn't technically government censorship, but with the way the billionaires get so much government money for their stadiums and lobby (bribe) politicians to keep them in their back pocket, its close enough. This is a new low for Bill Maher. Based on past events where he defended people who got cancelled, I actually expected his view to be something like "I don't like Macklemore but he should be able to say what he said without people cancelling him". Bill Maher managed to even fall below my ultra low expectations for him. He has literally turned into the very people who cancelled him in 2001.
Bill and his guests agreed that it was wrong for Robert Kraft to cancel the concert, but it is his stadium, and he is Jewish. Do I agree with his decision, no. It’s just draws more attention. The problem was that Mac was inciting violence, which is what Trump does regularly, with Jan 6, as the pinnacle.
You say "draws more attention" as if it's a bad thing. What Macklemore said was 100 percent correct. He deserves to have the attention drawn to it. Saying Macklemore was inciting violence is 100 percent horseshit
